Norbert Schoerner (born 1966) is a German photographer and filmmaker.

Based in London since 1989, he spent the early 1990s experimenting with layered imaging and digital post production, primarily in The Face. His work has since been published in NY Times magazine,Vogue, and Another Magazine. His advertising campaigns have included Comme des Garçons, Swarovski, Shiseido,Prada, and Lacoste.

Schoerner’s photographic and multi-media works have been featured in numerous group shows such as: photo50 (London Art Fair, 2010),You Dig the Tunnel – I’ll Hide the Soil (White Cube, London, 2008),Cities: People, Architecture and Society (La Biennale, Venice, 2006),I Shot Norman Foster at the Architecture Foundation (London, 2005), and JAM: Tokyo-London (Tokyo Opera City, 2002).

Solo exhibitions have been held at Comme des Garçons (with The Face, Aoyama, Tokyo, 1995), Chapman Fine Arts (London, 2001), SDLX (Tokyo, 2004) and Museum 52 (London, 2004). In 2005, Schoerner had a mini-retrospective at the photography festival in Hyères, France for which he created The Court, an interactive and site-specific interpretation of the very notion of “retrospective”.
